LOL, Probably better following the extinguishers

Re: Fuel Tanker Fire I'll bet there was another trail you could have used to track him as well!

David it is truly a process of what works best for you, with what you have. It will certainly go back together per your plan. The project is looking...

I love it Bob! Thanks for sharing that. I ask because I spent a number of years at Laguna Seca and Sears Point back in my SCCA days. So anything...

Now that information is definitely classified! I don't know exactly who knows that I lit that one... Hahah! I know a few Mechanics were ready to take...

Good stories are always worth repeating. And these are good! Now I have to ask what track you were at Bob and GM were you a first responder.

Close, it was a fuel tanker leaving the refinery. When he filled the trailer, the bar that goes across the valves on the trailer will not release...

Like we spoke of in another thread gm, I am also guilty. I lit an 18 wheel semi on fire on a test track, and we couldn't put it out! However gm, I...

I got short battery cables from Rural King (my local tractor store) for wiring my starter solenoid. Cheap and effective!

I have one of these. It works in the vise or the press. ...

I don't know the length requirement without measuring however like you referenced, just buy a longer cable.

That would be nice; is 13" long enough though? (I know - just get a longer one if it isn't).

I'm thinking pre-made cable for a garden tractor! Tractor Supply or somewhere similar.

The greasy ball peen hammer works pretty good in a pinch. I finally invested in an Amazon special hydraulic crimper that works pretty darned good. ...

I came in a bit late, but I agree that #6, copper is the best choice. The alternator will, as the other guys said, only deliver as much current as...

I'm just as guilty as the next guy to forget to take the parking brake off. On one of our annual Veteran benefit Jeep rides, we were trail riding,...

Guess I'll be pickin up a piece of 6ga. wire. Also ordered the conversion alternator bracket set from Classic Military Vehicles.

Because of the E-Brake design (brake on the transfer case output), it is very common for drivers to take off with the brake on. The design enables a...

While I'm still pondering how I am supposed to install an assembled transmission/t-case/parking brake assembly, I took to more cleaning. I doubled...

That is a great question that requires some explanation. I am sure LarrBeard is out there somewhere and he can elaborate. By the math, it is a...

Thanks for the info (everyone). Really think it needs 6ga? Most everything I read suggested 10ga. I bought a small spool of 10ga. already however...

gm is correct. I think your only concern is the charge line.The big wire from the Alt to the battery positive. As LarrBeard pointed out, at least 6...

The new alternator is internally regulated, so no matter how many amps the alternator is rated at, (peak output of 105) the alternator only puts out...

You go about it the same way I do David. Gather every drop of info I can find, sort the "chiff from the chaff" and go for it well informed.

Thanks guys! Yes, GM had a good description of the routing, but I've been struggling with this and a couple other things for a while now. I have...

The alternator I'm installing is substantially high amp than original. New one is 105 amp! Will this also require changing the coil. Pretty sure...

Wiring Diagram supplied with the harness.

Here is a link to see if it helps to visualize the routing. Bmorgil's attachment from the service manual should get you the rest of the way. ...

See if this photo helps at all. gm has described the path the cable takes pretty well. There is a link to the service manuals here in the forum:...

gmwillys, the KW link you posted doesn't appear to exist any more. If you have any pull with the KW folks, can you see if this can be reposted or an...
